~~~~~~~~~~...!in~thi~·;2.S action on IMayS, 2015
, by the
Honorable Sheila K. Oberto
, United States District JudgelMagistrate Judge.
I believe that the following course of action is reasonably necessary to the prosecution of this
action:
I

!

I

I

Transcript Reimbursement Fund of the Court Reporter's Board of California. Of the total fee of $255.60,
the TRF reimbursed the deposition firm $207.50. Irequest that the court reimburse the remaining
balance, without service fees, of $48.10.

Counsel seeking reimbursement must support all claimed expenses by submitting invoices, receipts or similar
documentation. Without such documentation, counsel will not be reimbursed.

I have made reasonable inquirY and believe that the cost of this course of action will not exceed

the amount of $\$48.1 0

.

I therefore request that this court authorize the expenditure in an amount not to exceed that stated

above for the completion of this contemplated course of action.
